sur vince cable?hnical —— again. —— thank you for your time technical —— again. —— thank you for yourtime and technical —— again. —— thank you for your time and sorry for the chemical difficulties. the most abiding memory until recently of gareth southgate would have been this moment. barry davies commentating as gareth failed to score in a penalty shootout against germany that saw england go out of euro 96 in the semifinals. but after the win on tuesday night against colombia, maybe, these will be the images that we will associate with a man who's been known as football's mr nice guy. a redemption story, 22 years in the making. there's a bromance going on there! mike's with someone who's known the england manager throughout that time. sartorially doffing his cap to gareth southgate as well? the southgate waistcoat, shirt and combination tie. in the queue outside wimbledon with someone who has been through thick and thin with gareth southgate, david davis, executive director of the fa when gareth miss

natalie, staying with you, same newspaper, on the front page, vince cable, servants, secret talks set at a dinner party when he should have been voting —— servants. does this story give us a clue as to who might be alongside him with this new party? people and other parties is the quote they have gone with. we can assume they are not people from the house of commons or they would have been missing from the same vote vince cable was missing from. let's assume they must be people from other parties who are in the house of lords, perhaps former mps, former prime ministers. i'm sceptical of a new political party, i have to be honest. i think it sounds like a convincing excuse to suggest that he might have been doing something very busy and important when he should have been voting in the house of commons, but he should be voting in the house of commons, that is one job. he is very much anti-brexit, lib dems are very much so, it's not surprising that he might seek allies to try to get things moving their way, is it? i suppose it's not. the headline slightly misleading, vince in talks to se

a leader of the liberal democrats, vince cable, he was not around for the brexit vote, he was holding of a new centrist party, apparently, presumably with tim farron, which is gaining credibility. why do they need a new centrist party if they have the liberal democrats and they are anti—brexit in the first place? precisely, why do they need a new party question might possibly turn up party question might possibly turn upfor party question might possibly turn up for the vote on brexit. which is where the remain headline probably comes from, this new anti—brexit centrist party. one in three voters would back a new anti—brexit centrist party, but clearly, the indication of the headline is that a majority of people are going for remain but it shows a third prepared to back this theoretical new party and more theoretical new party which is explicitly pro—brexit. and more theoretical new party which is explicitly pro-brexit. it potentially could be an even bigger vote in favour of brexit, should they rerun the referendum which we are not even suggesting. now, so it isa are not even suggesti

sir vince cable, thank you forjoining us. heard all morning. it runs homebodies ignore the morning it has been and how fast moving things are. firstly, the prime minister will be in the commons and facing questions, and the oddity of the occasion is that i suspect much of her attention will be over shoulder, rather than across the chamber to the labour mps on the other side. that said, what is also intriguing, as he touched on there with sir vince cable, is the plan that has been announced this morning that has been announced this morning that the chief of staff, gavin ba rwell, to that the chief of staff, gavin barwell, to the prime minister, himself a former minister who lost his seat at the election last year, is going to brief opposition mps and peers on this chequers plan that was published on friday night. of course, in so doing, that is an acknowledgement of weakness around numbers, the fact that the conservatives don't have a majority to call their own, there is a good number of brexiteer conservative backbenchers who

interesting earlier i was talking to sir vince cable and nigel evans and there is almost a cautious optimismautious optimism that ok, the cabinet is united, but there is still so much detail to go through in the coming months. that is right and it feels as if a fragile peace has broken out among the conservative party but some tory brexiteers clearly are not happy and one mp tweeted last night, british businesses will continue to be a rule taken from the eu. i hope the details are better than the breaking headlines. sceptics are calling for detail and might get it. the chief whip is holding a meeting in downing street today and theresa may is set to face the parliamentary party on monday but some say it is academic, because the eu will not wear it. we had a tweet from michel barnier, the chief negotiator in the eu, and he said... at least there is a sense of relief there is a plan to put forward and theresa may is trying to lay down the law. last night in a letter she said collective responsibility is fully restored. at least, that is what she hopes. thank you. the thai boys who have been tr

weekend papers reported the lib dem leader vince cable missed a key brexit vote last week because he a new party is not in the centre. a new yougov poll suggests 38% would vote for a new party on the right that is committed to brexit. 33% of voters meanwhile would back a new anti—brexit centrist party. and 24% say they would be prepared to support an explicitly far rightanti—islam, anti—immigrant party. we have been speaking to the former leader of the uk independence party nigel farage who is currently in washington, and i asked him if he is currently forming a new party. no, i haven't said that for a moment. i mean, look, i have been with ukip since its inception back in 1993, i still sit as a ukip mep in the european parliament and, hey, i am pleased to see ukip is now up in the polls. they're reporting over the weekend is that ukip isjoining forces with forces that under your leadership ukip largely shunned. is this now a convergence of the hard right? there is a feeling that a coming together of the eurosceptic groups across europe is a necessary thing. now, where i do disagree

the matters which mps are around, some last night did not anticipate it being as close as it was, vince cablems among them, they were not around because they were doing other stuff. it happens all the time, mps do not turn upfor it happens all the time, mps do not turn up for every vote.|j it happens all the time, mps do not turn up for every vote. i bet they are kicking themselves. quite. on days like today and nights like last nightand, days like today and nights like last night and, broadly, days like today and nights like last nightand, broadly, parliaments days like today and nights like last night and, broadly, parliaments like this, which is home and every vote counts, is can really make a difference. many are asking why theresa may would be interested in an early summer theresa may would be interested in an early summer recess, theresa may would be interested in an early summer recess, and the gossip is it is because ijust mean she does not have to face a leadership challenge before the summer leadership challenge before the summer recess? bluntly, geography matters and plotting is mu

recently resigned a minor government post over brexit, labourmp chi onwurah, lib dem leader sir vince cable should we stay or should we go, that decision have to be clear. what is the bit from this blueprint that you didn‘t like? clear. what is the bit from this blueprint that you didn't like?m is direction of travel and my starting point is leaving the european union. but we have great relations with the european union now. we need to maintain those relations at we need to work up from wto to get a better relationship. relations at we need to work up from wto to get a better relationshipm it the common rule book or the single market for goods? it seems to be the approach of the government that we don‘t want to leave the european union, so how close can we remain to it and how little can we deviate? is he right? two years after the brexit vote we have still got conclusion and conflict. that could be a description of your own party as well. we have been very clear. you have not been that clear. we want a new comprehensive customs union with the european union as well as continued relationshi

joining us now is the leader of the liberal democrats, vince cable.shing all the international cooperative relationships which we need is a country. the world trade system, the world trade organisation, international agreements on climate change, the un, nato, the european union. to have a world that actually works, we need cooperation, and he is systematically destroying them. he is becoming an enemy of this country. is he weakening nato if he is encouraging other countries to increase their contributions to the overall budget, which is something other presidents have tried to do as well? it is perfectly reasonable to expect member states to pay their contributions and britain does so. of course, america has global defence commitments as well as defence commitments as well as defence commitments as well as defence commitments in europe, so it is not strictly correct. under his big tie—break against germany for having a gas pipeline to russia was absolutely nonsensical. this kind of trade in energy took place throughout the period of soviet government
